Let's hope Raekwon can man the middle. Timmons at strong, Kiko at weak, Misi backing up Timmons and Raekwon.
IMO we have 3 middle linebackers playing linebacker so we should be able to stop the run the next concern will be covering the TE. Kiko brings some of that to the table just very unsure of the other 2.

Tua time!
He can't
Imo he has the knowledge to play all three spots, im hoping they move the lbs around to not give anything away but still maximizing their abilities
I love when posters know more than the players...
Eh, get off it. As if you're ever going to hear a player say they can't do something or play a certain position. Especially to the media.
Just interesting that some watch some videos, "study the game" and think they know more than those who work in the sport itself, at a professional level.

Gosh I am just so worried that we are going to get super exposed over the middle again this year.

Well we have Jones back this year, so that helps the middle more than anything. Our 3lbs have more talent than last season, so it should be better. How much better is the question.

Weakside would be the worst fit. If you put Raekwon or Timmons at strong you are gonna waste their instincts for the position. But somebody has got to bite the bullet.
Misi has very little instincts for the position which is why strong is his ideal fit and saved his career. He was headed to the scrap heap as a mike and a 34 olb

Looking like (with order to be determined)

Kiko
Weak
Kiko
Hewitt/Timmons
If it's me I'm going with Timmons at strong Raekwon at mike and Kiko at weak and having instincts at all 3 positions pulling Raekwon off the field in the nickel.
Only way that would change for me is if Koa won the strong side spot
Raekwon has the best instincts for the position as a mike and can be trusted between the tackles especially.
